Berachain Launches Bectra Upgrade to Enhance User Experience and Features
Berachain is set to launch its Bectra hard fork on Wednesday, becoming the first non-Ethereum Layer-1 blockchain to implement Pectra’s execution-layer features. Key points include:
- Access for over 100 apps to enhanced tools for user and developer interaction.
- Berachain operates on a unique Proof-of-Liquidity consensus model, differing from Ethereum's approach.
- Developers can maintain existing contracts without rewriting due to EVM compatibility.
- The upgrade allows wallets to function as smart accounts with features like batch transactions, spending limits, gas payments using HONEY, and recurring payments.
- Bectra aims to keep Berachain competitive amidst Ethereum's rapid advancements and growing rollup technology.
- BERA has decreased by 2% in the last 24 hours, reflecting a slight market downturn.
